Typing 'insmod lp'
gives me
insmod: lp: no module by that name found
typing find / -name 'lp.o'
finds nothing
How should I install this module?

Have you loaded the lp.o module?
The parport module, IIRC, is a core parallel port driver, which is
depended on by the plip and lp modules for the PLIP interface and
printers respectively.
What happens if you do an 'insmod lp' as root, and then try the echo
test above?
